Progress On 4-Wheeler Project

I have got it running, sort of. After checking the solenoid and the switch found the problem why it wouldn't crank, a bad connection at a plug on the wire bundle coming from the left handlebar. Then it wasn't getting gas. Took the carb apart and cleaned the needle valve. Finally got it to fire, but it would only run with the choke full on. Now it's a little better, but still doesn't want to idle. I have been able to drive it, but it still needs a lot of work.

I need to replace the u-joints on the front driveshaft and the wheel bearings on the front wheels. The left one has a lot of slop, I can shake it back and forth. Discovered the wheel bearing was shot when I put it up on jack stands to work on the driveshaft. With all four wheels in the air I can turn the driveshaft by turning one of the wheels.

Anywho, I checked on Amazon and bearings & seals for one wheel is $12 and for both is $20 so I think I'll replace both.

I may still need to pull the carb apart and clean it better to get it to idle, also I need to check the points to find out why it wants to backfire when I try to idle it.

Then I need to repair the front fenders and the front rack.

New Toy

 I bought this used 4-wheeler a week ago.  I figure I'll get a lot of use out of it on my place UP on the Tundra.  I have a little trailer (bed size 3 1/2ft by 4ft) that I can pull behind it once I get a ball set-up.



It's a '06 or '07 Polaris, will find out when I get the title.

                   The only problem with it is there isn't a clear title for it.  The guy(a DNR officer) I bought it from was warning me about my check that it was a felony to write a bad check for over $100.  What is the penalty for selling something you don't have clear title for????  He had bought it from a dealer who had taken it in on trade.  Turns out the lien from Wisconsin had never been cleared and is still showing up when entering it in the database.                    



It has new tires, brakes and battery, so should be good to go for quite awhile.



Looking forward to using it to go ice fishing next winter.  The snow on the ice usually isn't too deep for a 4-wheeler.  Lots of guys use them instead of snowmobiles.



Fits in the box between the toolbox and tailgate.  It's good to have a full-size truck.

 Now I need to get a set of ramps to load and unload it from my truck.  I was able to unload it when I got it home by backing up to a small bank and driving off.  Could pull it off on level ground, but it would be a real bitch to load it back up.

UPDATE: Added another picture.
